The Co-operative Group has announced plans for a £1 million showpiece
store and service station in Llanelwedd, Builth Wells which will bring
a new era in convenience food shopping to the area.
The consumer-owned retailer acquired the North Road Garage last year
and work has begun to build a new service station and convenience
store, which the group hopes will open in early autumn. The 2,500 sq ft
food store will feature The Co-operative Group’s new brand identity,
The Co-operative aims to highlight improved service standards across
its 4,900 outlets in the UK, including its travel, pharmacy, funerals
and bank branches, as well as its commitment to supporting local
communities and ethical trading policies. The new store and petrol
station will provide a spacious shopping environment and a
comprehensive range to meet all the food shopping needs of the
community. It will also feature three petrol pump islands and a
jet wash plus more than 20 car parking spaces.
Regional manager Mark Roberts said: “The acquisition represents a
significant investment in the area for The Co-operative and endorses
our commitment to serving customers with the best in modern
retailing. “The new store and petrol station will provide a
one-stop shop for the local community.
